Sounds like the lock actuator is bad (frozen) and needs to be replaced. Have it checked out. Could be something as little as a clip that has broken, a rod that is bent or the latch and actuator. They do rust and fail. This is common with many vehicles, not just your Dodge.

First, keep in mind that as you begin to remove these doors you run the risk of causing serious scratches to the paint and glass, so put some masking tape and/or plastic sheeting around both sides of the door (rear quarter panel and rear glass, front door and front door glass)
I would get a Haynes repair guide since that's what I have to work from and it will tell you step by step with pictures, what to do. It's not hard, but you need to get all of the attach points unhooked to be successful. Suggest you have a helper working with you to keep the door steady.

i have replaced many sliding door lock actuators on these vehicles..dealer part..mostly on passenger side sliding door..also possible you have a broken wire in door track harness..follow wiring from door into what looks like a plastic chain in door track at door opening

You may have already checked this but there is a switch located close to the overhead button that will disengage the door buttons for child safety, is that turned off?

see the diagram attached and think clearly and logically, NOT feared. test any connection continuity, fuses, see for corrosion, tes the switch for defective or dirty, and motor.,loose connector or connector God bless you
